What is the average house price in North Kensington?

The median asking price across the 421 homes for sale in North Kensington is £695,000 (as of 20 August 2026). We quote the median (the middle listing) rather than a mean, because a handful of very expensive homes would pull a mean upwards. Half of listings ask between £525,000 and £1,042,500.

How long are homes on the market in North Kensington?

Of the North Kensington listings that came off the market in the last 30 days and that we first saw after we began tracking the area, the typical one had been advertised for 87 days.

How these numbers are made

  • Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (421 in North Kensington), refreshed daily, as of 20 August 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings.
  • Off market and time listed: Off-market counts include only listings confirmed off the market after a short grace period; "typical time listed" is time advertised, not time to sell. We have tracked North Kensington since September 2025.
  • London comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of London, so both sides of every comparison share one basis. Where a comparison spans all property types, some of the gap reflects what is for sale here.
  • Sold figures: HM Land Registry price paid data for the 12 months to December 2025 (the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered), with floor areas from EPC certificates. England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
